Always wanted to own a bicycle trailer but never had the money to buy one? Here are some ideas to get you started on building one yourself. If you have succeeded, let us know!
The first time I thought about a post about self-made trailers when I came across this beauty on the WNBR in June. It's simply a lowered shopping cart with a welded on frame that connects it to the wheels and the bicycle. Smart idea!
If would like to build your own cargo trailer, I recommend to have a look at:

I actually made one with the least amount of effort, basically I found an old child trailer that has been thrown away, ripped off the fabric and metal until I got to the bare frame, put some wood on it, some duct tape and bingo.
need a trailer to move houses, and much cheaper than buying a trailer (like the carry freedom one)
